Orders via the website exclusively include liner notes, hi-res photos, a bonus track, 'Zennor,' a video download of the title track, and five raw field recordings.

Composed and compiled over five weeks in West Cornwall, on mainland England’s extreme southwestern edge, ‘Kernow’ melds soundscapes created in-studio with field recordings collected in and near seven towns and villages on the Penwith peninsula. Although each soundscape could serve as a stand-alone piece, the work is offered as a larger, classically inspired suite that attempts to fuse the natural sounds of Cornish autumn with the compositional elements that they inspire.

Recorded at The Studio, Penzance, United Kingdom

Mixed and mastered at Sterling Studios, West Chester, PA

Seven meditative, classically inspired ambient soundscapes


When the solar wind alters the magnetosphere by changing the pathways of charged particles, the resulting auroras ionize the space and bring forth light of colorful complexity. The 1865 work “Aurora Borealis” by American landscape painter Frederic Edwin Church depicts this phenomenon and the Arctic expedition of his friend Isaac Israel Hayes. Upon observing the event en route to what then was thought to be the Open Polar Sea, Hayes wrote the following lines:

“The light grew by degrees more and more intense, and from irregular bursts,
it settled into an almost steady sheet of brightness…
The exhibition, at first tame and quiet, became, in the end, startling in its brilliancy.
The broad dome above me is all ablaze…
The color of the light was chiefly red, but this was not constant,
and every hue mingled in the fierce display.
Blue and yellow streamers were playing in the lurid fire;
and, sometimes starting side by side from the wide expanse of the illuminated arch,
they melt into each other,
and throw a ghostly glare of green into the face and over the landscape.
Again this green overrides the red;
blue and orange clasp each other in their rapid flight;
violet darts tear through a broad flush of yellow,
and countless tongues of white flame, formed of these uniting streams,
rush aloft and lick the skies.”

Offered in the form of a multi-movement programmatic work in the European classical music tradition, ‘Aurora” endeavors to provide a soundscape for Church’s depiction of Hayes’ voyage. Although the title track is a sonic representation of the painting itself, the remaining six movements render imagined scenes from the journey at once filtered through and informed by the artists’ deftly veiled brush strokes in tones of ochre, black, brown, gray, blue, and green.
